A new group of nurses started their ACH careers last week in the All Children's Pediatric RN Residency Program. The 12-month program provides graduate nurses and/or newly licensed nurses with knowledge, skills and support as they transition from the academic setting to the hospital setting. Upon completion of the residency, the RN is skilled and competent to care for acutely ill infants and children.

"We continue to see a positive response to our residency program,"said Hella Ewing, ACH Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer. "We had over a 170 applicants in two days and accepted 10 wonderful new nurses to the ACH family. Each cohort draws the best of the best. We have had great results with the previous cohorts and have high expectations for our future residency cohorts. We appreciate the ACH leadership support for this wonderful program."

Human Resources is a program under All Children's Hospital. All Children's Hospital
is the only specialty licensed children's hospital on Florida's west coast. Founded in
1926, All Children's has grown into a leading pediatric referral center that is
dedicated to advancing treatment, education, research and advocacy in child health.
